CO Alarm issue - battery charger?
We have a 2011 Lance 850 TC, pretty much factory stock, we just purchased it has had one owner previously. As a CO / LP detector. Had the CO detector go off when we had it in our driveway plugged ...

The TC was in two different locations the two times it happened. One up on our driveway, no cars running, no BBQ's or other issues. The other on the lower part of our property by the barn, about 200 yards away down hill. Nothing running in that area either. Bot times it was off the truck, so nothing was blocking the vent hole for the battery cover. I am going to double check the battery cover and tube, make sure it is fully open and flows air, then I'll plug it in again during the day and see if I can get it to go again. If I can, then I'll put a fan outside the TC by the vent hole to try and draw air out of the battery compartment and see if I can get it to do it again. The only thing I can think of is that some other gas is getting generated taking the place of oxygen and making it seem like the CO levels are going up. And even if that is the case, it's not a livable situation so I need to sort it out.

Give it another test before you use it. But you need to find the source. 388 is deadly.
Move the TC 50 yards down the street for the next test.
